Stromlo XC Intervals 17km incl 6 x 200m hills, 20 minute fartlek : Yabby goes walkabout : Steve 1500m track 4:50

Sunny, windy morning session at Stromlo XC circuits. The session included 6 x 200m hills and a 20 minute fartlek session (2 x 3 minutes, 4 x 60sec, 4 x 30 sec, 4 x 15 sec),all on undulating grass. Surprise was spotting a yabby (crustacean, like a prawn) going walkabout on the circuit, as turtles also do after heavy rain looking for a better home. It was a windy night at track for Steve. He won in 4:50. For me 130km this week with three structured sessions and no niggles. I should be able to find top form again in the next 5 weeks. Saturday morning Parkrun. Most of my friends are running either the Stromlo XC festival or a half marathon this weekend.

A big weather event is brewing for much of my local area this afternoon and weekend. Up to 100mm predicted to fall with damaging winds. I've been through a few of these periods now. I've started setting up for indoor training. This morning a quick trip to the shop for supplies that the puppy will eat, another short run solo, and a short puppy training session of fetch the ball. I ran 80 minutes just before the weather arrived. Tassie Masters Athletics posted this video from the Australian Masters Athletics Championships mixed XC race a few days ago on their Youtube site. A great memory from such a great event.
